Just a side note but it's a really bad idea to pipe curl in bash 
as it opens the door to remote unknown code exploitation. Even 
checking what curl returns beforehand isn't enough as a piped 
curl is distinguishable server-side so a different script could 
be provided dynamically.

(Ok, with dlang.org there shouldn't be much problem but still)
